I think prime for prime its a 50:50 fight and right now Kabayel would get the win, while there is a small chance Whyte could land his KO left hook. Whyte been too inconsistent after being cleared from the first PED story and then busted for the second. Kabayel just doing his homework correctly during the last years.
Whyte has had a lot better career than Kabayel but of course Kabayel has a few years left. Whyte is already out the door and at 33 Kabayel does not have long left. Kabayel is a plodder himself (he does not have the style he boxed Chisora with) and he would be obliterated by Itauma
I feel like Parker and Kabayel have gotten a tad overrated largely for beating up on guys who were old and/or had already exposed flaws.
You really think Itauma would beat Kabayel? On what actual sense??? Itauma has literally beaten journeymen, whereas Kabayel has beaten experienced and seasoned vets to contenders such as Chisora and Zhang, and lets not forget Kabayel has beaten hype jobs such as Makmudov and Sanchez.
A tough one if we're going off the 2018 version of Whyte. I'm barely going for Whyte just because he had beaten slightly better opposition than Kabayel did, and Whyte is also more versatile in the sense he is a solid outboxer, slugger and swarmer.
Whyte is a serial drug cheat and a lot of his wins were controversial and unconvincing. Kabayel has obliterated his opponents since the Saudis took over. Itauma? I'll make judgement when he steps up.
it's called foresight, mate. Your posts are going to look stupid as **** in a few years time when Itauma is the top dog in the division.
Up to a point, yes. The difference is Parker's got depth to his resume - Kabayel has Zhang and Chisora then drops off a cliff. These guys are decent enough fighters but they're not really comparable - they're very different stylistically, but also very different in how well proven they are... That they're often treated as equivalent is overrating Kabayel in itself.
Fury is also a known drugs cheat... With plenty of controversial wins and ducks. But rightly no-one really disputes he was somewhere up there. Whyte has proven way, way more than Kabayel... But on the slide as he is, Kabayel would win if they fought now.
Kabayel kinda popped out of nowhere for most of fans and he has some good wins but I’m inclined to agree.
Prime for prime I'd give this to Whyte, he has more experience and a mean left hook, no guarantees that Kabayel could get up from that and he is definitely open to it. Kabayel needs time to break down his opponents and wears them out to make them open for his offense. Whyte won't give him that time and has enough power to keep Kabayel cautious to engage until later in the fight, but even later in the fight Whyte will find home for his power punches. Kabayel could secretly have an iron chin though, in which case I'd give him the odds to win.
Yeah parker was wbo champ for a spell and beat andy ruiz for it, which is funny because ruiz would tko Joshua who koed Parker, goes to show boxing math is ****
